If there is a part of my city that is special, this is undoubtedly the Jewish quarter. I have certificates from the Spanish Network of Jewish Quarters about Jewish Culture and the History of Jews in Spain. Of course we'll talk about the history of this people who occupied this city before the Christians, the Muslims and the Romans. But also about the traditions and legends that have remained in the city, their lifestyle and how they have influenced its inhabitants. The synagogue of Santa Maria la Blanca surprises me every time I enter it, despite having done it so many times, for its artistic beauty, reminiscent of a mosque. And the Synagogue of El Tránsito, the Sephardic museum, apart from its beauty, is an open book that shows the life of the Jews in Spain until their expulsion in 1492. If we can I will show you some passages that they used in those difficult days of the Inquisition. After 2 hours in the Jewish Quarter, we can visit the Cathedral or another monument on the last hour of this tour.
